General CommentNot a SINGLE comment regarding the only lyricist who possible rivals James Keenan. For you kids who come in here this song is about Neils first apartment and all the cockroaches that ran rampant through said apartment. He changed it to rats for syllabic reasons.

General CommentLike Tool, Clutrches music has remained basically un-changed, and it's best left that way. Very talented musicians, especially guitarist Tim Sult, he's a big inspiration for me. They get no where near the credit they deserve, my friend saw them live with Sevendust a few years ago, he never heard of Clutch but came back saying they are the best band ever.

It hasn't really been unchanged. They started off very heavy, with more of a metal sound. They mellowed out quickly and kept that sound for a while, with more of a hard rock feel, then started trending more towards a bluesy-rock sound, with the zenith of that, being "From Beale Street to Oblivion." They stripped the sound down, more recently and went back to the hard rock sound, but they can get their blues on, occasionally, like with the Pig Town Blues Single. Their music has changed, but not drastically. That change is important. Plus, they have the Bakerton Group, which is Clutch, but strictly instrumental. It's more of a blues-rock-jazz sort of sound, so they can do that sort of thing, without alienating their rock fans.
